Here it is. Again, apology for having cut
this one to start at some point. I am about
concentrating on the solo, for a good reason
called "Tutorial". Tim had said it would be
good closer (reshot) and I like the song and
the solo and I thought it would be another
good test of Guitar Rig 3.0, using a Plex
Patch modified by me (added a boost and
played with amplifier controls)
Won't say anything else, to you the comments.
And THANKS for watching.

PS
Big Thumbs up To Lynyrd Skynyrd for being one
of the greatest bands of American Southern
Rock of all times.
PS2: these close ups might be good to finally
let you see how much effort (i.e. strength)
put on my left hand (the hand that plays the
notes). Almost at all times. That strength -
controlled strength - is what lets you have
in time the "tone" you want, in a way. And
lets you get the nuances you are looking for.
The way it approaches the note, presses on
the fretboard, holds the neck, moves to get
any form of vibrato. Suggestion: train the
left hand (or the notes playing hand in
general) to get stronger and stronger. But
ALWAYS warming it up properly.
This one was played with this guitar (I am
pasting the ad on
http://www.marksguitarloft.com that drove me
to buy this one):
" Gibson Custom Shop Tom Murphy Aged 1960
HRM Les Paul Figured Top Reissue (2006)
(Item#296)(as new condition) Lemonburst Tom
Murphy aged Hard Rock Maple 1960 reissue,
this is a Yamano guitar that went to Japan
and was then shipped to the US, 8 lbs 12
ounces, one of the most realistic looking
eastern maple tops I've had that's covered in
figure, very comfortable '60 profile neck and
a killer dark rosewood board that's almost
black, this is one of THE BEST Historics I've
played or heard!!! This a just a Killer
guitar in all ways(and I don't use that term
often) Very woody and old sounding tone, real
touch sensitive, very fast tracking and
articulate, fat and smooth vocal like mids
that really make single note leads sing, the
top end has something extra that keeps the
guitar very clear(much closer to an older
guitar), hang tags, blank warranty, Yamano
booklet, certificate and brown reissue Lifton
case."
Adding also that, PLEASE do NOT ask for tabs.
I do not use tablatures. I used to use them
years ago. Tabs are a very good thing if and
when you need them. But I have studied the
type of music well enough to not need tabs.
I do NOT write tabs. I by far favour to go by
video. By video, you can watch - though most
of the times not closely - and hear what I
do, singled out form the record context and
pretty much slowed down. There should be all
you need to learn. By far more than I had
available at the time.
If *I* made it to learn properly a song,
*You* can make it, too.
NO tabs!
Thanks,

Update as of June the 3rd, 2008
In recent days, there have been a flock of
people who urged to let me know that this
version of mine was not accurate. Or not
played well. Hard to say which one was the
original intent (and clicking on those
people's accounts would show absolutely NO
performance on their part, let alone a
Skynyrd performance).
While I do not think I've ever claimed
accuracy on this one, I gladly will state
that no, this is not 100% accurate and IT
WASN'T MEAN TO BE FROM THE START (I, in fact,
played consciously other licks here and there
during the performance).
While it wouldn't seem such a horrible thing
to me (not to be 100% accurate, but STILL
playing a decent performance), it seems
others it is unacceptable.
If you are reading this, maybe because I sent
you here, you now know which is my position
on this.
This should probably keep you calm and
relaxed knowing that - no - I wasn't trying
to step into the original players' shoes and
you can still sleep well at night.
Thank you,
SD
